Proper innings that.
Lovely
Nice window of opportunity for me to pop out for a couple of pints before the evening session (cricket, not drinking).

Root out for just 122, it's 20/20 time I reckon at 420-8

Could be interesting, athough England losing the last 7 wickets for 96 suggests that the pitch isn't quite as flat as we thought.

The drinks interval does for Louis... Woakes finds the edge, and breaks a strong opening partnership.
Mikyle Louis c †Smith b Woakes 17 (40b 2x4 0x6) SR: 42.5
61-1

Or maybe it proves England's batting can be a rad reckless at times.

Bashir into the attack... and strikes immediately.... under edge to the keeper.

Feels like England thought they had it in the bag and lost concentration. Should still win, but a lead of 385 is short of where they should have been.

Hope we can keep him coming back to us for a few years.

A DECISIVE half hour... Bashir traps the centurion Hodge.. and it's 4 down.
Kavem Hodge lbw b Shoaib Bashir 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
75-4
4 for 14 in 24 balls.

Genuine tailenders like Wood aside, I didn't think any of England's wickets today were reckless.
Could argue with Stokes' dismissal I suppose, but in both innings of this match he got balls that deserved to be hit and he tried to hit them.
Finally a wicket for Wood's effort.

Great for England but not so good for test cricket. Looked like we had a competitive game, but not anymore.
